Answer: x = 9

Explanation:

1) Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

2) Find a common denominator

3) Combine fractions with common denominator

4) Multiply from left to right (PEMDAS)

5) Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

6) Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

7) Multiply again

8) Add _ to both sides

9) Divide both sides by the same factor getting 125x/125 = 1125/125

10) Simplify, x = 9
